Hi,</p>
<p>
An activity I am working on says that &quot;the&quot; in &quot;the orchestra&quot; is an adjective.&nbsp; Isn&#39;t that an article?</p>
<p>
It also says that &quot;a&quot; in &quot;a promise&quot; is an adjective.&nbsp; I thought these articles???&nbsp; Thank you.</p>

<p>
&nbsp;Basically, an article is an adjective, and like adjectives, articles modify nouns. Think of them as a special subgroup of adjectives.</p>

<p>
1, Which would you use if customers wasn&#39;t in the sentence? &quot;John is getting it for me,&quot; not &quot;for I.&quot; So it&#39;s the same when customers are in there.</p>
<p>
&nbsp;</p>
<p>
2, It&#39;s usually safer not to, but there are corner cases where I like to bend the rules with things like that.</p>

<p>Both sentences are quite similar; both are saying that if the person had any spare time, they would take up a hobby. I hope this helps you! </p>

<p>
Either one could be correct depending on the context.&nbsp; Neither is correct with a lower case &#39;I&#39;, however.</p>
<p>
&nbsp;</p>
<p>
The meanings would be very close to one another.</p>

to teach is the infinitive of the verb.... Like in the old song &quot;I&#39;d like to teach the world to sing&quot; it isn&#39;t past.... I taught is past tense.... even I will teach, I want to teach, I should teach.... none are past.</p>

<p>Me, not I. Remove Faye from the sentence, and when you do, you'll realize: "Billy, did you go to school with me?" Is correct. </p>
